Post by The Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Pretoria

Today, the Faculty of Health Sciences joins the nation in commemorating Youth Day, honouring the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of the young people of 16 June 1976. As we reflect on their legacy, we celebrate the power of education to shape tomorrow’s leaders, innovators, and professionals. In recognition of this important day, the Faculty donned school uniforms, paying tribute to the youth whose courage helped shape South Africa’s future. Happy Youth Day! #YouthDay2026 #UniversityOfPretoria #uphealthsciences
